What are the main mechanisms of homeostasis?

Human body include mechanisms that help regulate the body, this includes organs, glands, tissues and cells. The adjusting of these enables the body to constantly be in a steady state. The main mechanisms of homeostasis are body temperature, body fluid composition, blood sugar, gas concentrations, and blood pressure. Blood PressurePressure by which the blood is pumped around the body is controlled by a homeostatic mechanism.

Body Temperature

There are two types of heat regulation that the body uses, endothermic and ectothermic. Endothermic is where a living thing can maintain their own core temperature and ectothermic is where it gains the temperture of its surrounding environment. living things that regulate its own temperature are detected by receptors in the skin and hypothalamus in the brain. then nerve impulses are sent when ther is a temperature change. this then brings change depending on whether it is hot or cold, signaling to the muscles and glands. Below are some examples of what the body will do to regulate and maintain the body's body temperature.

Regulation of gas concentrationThe cells in the body require oxygen, but also removing all carbon dioxide as it is a waste product, so that sufficient energy can be produced. this is needed to be regulated and is controlled by the homeostatic mechanism that controls breathing. some control is over this function unlike other processes that there is none. the intercoastal muscles, the lungs and diaphram move air in and out of the lungs. the muscles are controlled by nerve impulses that are sent to the medulla oblongata from the respitory system.(hoomeostasis, copyright westone services),
